Do not treat any online number as the final in-store price for a gold ring in Yangzhou. For Lao Feng Xiang, Chow Tai Fook and Yangzhou Jindian, the safe way is to compare the same-day branch quotation: gold price per gram, product weight, purity, labour fee, discount rules, invoice, after-sales terms and trade-in rules. Labour fees may be charged per piece, per gram or by product line, so the lowest gold price is not always the lowest final bill.
What to ask each shop on the same day
Use one ring size and one purity standard when you ask. Write down: today’s listed gold price, exact gram weight after weighing, labour fee or craft fee, whether the fee is discounted, whether there is a commission or service charge, and whether resizing, cleaning, exchange or repair is included. Ask the salesperson to separate the gold value from the labour fee on paper before you compare.
Chow Tai Fook’s official gold-price page is useful for understanding the formula “Gold Weight × Current Gold Price + Labour Charge + Commission,” but it is a Hong Kong official page and should not be copied as a Yangzhou mainland quote. For Lao Feng Xiang, use the official Lao Feng Xiang store query to confirm the local branch before calling or visiting.
How to include Yangzhou Jindian in the comparison
Yangzhou Jindian’s official site identifies the company as a local gold and jewellery business at 116 Wenhe South Road, with gold, silver, jewellery, processing and exchange operations. That makes it a real local option to include, but its website content is not a live price sheet. The final answer still has to come from the same-day counter quote or official customer-service confirmation.
When comparing the three, do not ask only “how much per gram.” Ask for the full settlement formula and keep screenshots or photos of the shop display, product tag and invoice draft. If one shop has a lower gram price but a higher labour fee, the total may be higher than another shop. If the purchase is for wedding rings, also compare after-sales convenience: resizing, polishing, exchange rules and whether both names, weight and purity are clearly recorded on the invoice.
